  • the present embodiment can prevent erroneous execution of the all-track erasing mode, since the mode is executed by simultaneous actuation of a plurality of operation members which are used in the recording mode. Also the number of operation members, such as switches, can be reduced since such members are used for a plurality of purposes. Also, the use of two display members in the erasing operation allows confirmation that a cancelling operation for the all-record erasing mode is accepted, even if the cancelling operation is conducted in the course of erasure of a track.

  • the present embodiment ensures correct timing for terminating the erasure, as the all-track erasing mode can be cancelled with a simple operation. Also the cancellation, being achievable with recording switch, does not require additional switches, thus avoiding increase in cost.
